On the subject of inevitability of being bitten,
I have never been bitten by a ven(sorry I have been bitten by gts') and dont intend to be.
Having said that I have done exactly what Bob did on numerous occasions.
I know that the possibility is there and take precautions where ever possible. I have the advantage in most circumstances in that the elapids that come to me are wild caught(rescues) so I dont get complacent with them.(they are only held for short time due to injuries etc).
Red bellies are beguiling though. The settle in very quickly and start accepting food; thawed rats, mice and ckicks; almost straight away.
Its a possibility not an inevitability. The latter is reckless and irresponsible.
